Mealworms offer the natural nutrition many different aquatic amphibians, reptiles, birds, and small animals require, providing a high source of protein and essential amino acids. Because live mealworms are difficult to maintain in captivity and can be expensive, most pet store owners do not provide these nutritionally valuable prey items to their pets. Fluker's realizes the importance of diversifying your pet amphibian or reptile's diet to increase the overall nutritional value being provided to your pet and has produced a freeze-dried mealworm diet. Fluker's Freeze-Dried Mealworms can be used in combination with other Fluker's freeze-dried products to provide your pet with natural prey items without the mess and expense of live prey items. 100% Freeze dried mealworms Ideal for reptiles, birds, tropical fish, semi-aquatic amphibians, and hedgehogs Eliminates hassle of live food
